Dental implants in Málaga
Answers for complex cases, including those other clinics turn down for lack of bone.
Dental implants in Málaga
An implant is an artificial root that integrates into the bone and carries the definitive crown. At our Málaga centre implant work rests on computer-navigated surgery, which places every implant to the millimetre according to a plan made beforehand.
Cases with little bone
We have techniques for patients with advanced resorption, including zygomatic implants and subperiosteal frameworks, which allow situations turned down elsewhere for want of bone volume to be treated.
Planning is done on a CT scan before any surgical decision is taken.
-
Chewing function

-
Natural appearance
The crown is designed around your shape, shade and proportions, in harmony with your face.
-
Stable and comfortable
Nothing moves or comes loose. Cared for like a natural tooth, with hygiene and check-ups.
At this clinic
How we handle implants at our Málaga clinic
The implant department is led by Dr Eduardo Crooke, an international reference in oral implantology with more than 26 years of experience and one of the few surgeons worldwide specialising in custom subperiosteal frameworks for patients with severe bone resorption.
We work with computer-navigated surgery: the position of every implant planned digitally, to the millimetre, before the operation begins. The same standard applies to a single implant as to a full rehabilitation.
For cases with less bone available, Dr Crooke uses techniques such as zygomatic implants or subperiosteal frameworks, which avoid extensive grafting and shorten the treatment.

Types of dental implant
How the process works, step by step
-
Study and diagnosis
3D scan, intraoral scan and assessment of gum and bone. You leave the first visit with a diagnosis, not a generic quote.
-
Digital planning and guided surgery
We plan each implant position on the digital model and manufacture a custom surgical guide. Surgery is shorter and more precise.
-
Placement and temporary teeth
We place the implants and, where the case allows, an aesthetic temporary prosthesis the same day. You do not leave without teeth.
-
Final prosthesis and maintenance
Once the implant has integrated, we fit the definitive crown or bridge and set up a check-up plan.

Common questions
What patients usually ask us
01 How long before I can get back to normal after surgery?
In most cases people return to their usual routine within 24 to 48 hours. We recommend avoiding intense physical exercise for the first few days and keeping to a soft diet during the first week.
02 What care do dental implants need?
The same as a natural tooth: daily brushing, interdental cleaning and regular check-ups. An implant cannot decay, but the bone supporting it can be lost if hygiene slips, so professional maintenance is part of the treatment.
03 What is the difference between an implant and a bridge?
An implant replaces the root of the tooth and does not touch the neighbouring teeth. A conventional bridge requires grinding down the adjacent teeth to rest on them. That makes the implant the more conservative option when the neighbouring teeth are healthy.
04 Can I have implants if I currently wear a denture?
Yes, and it is one of the changes that most improves quality of life. Moving from a removable denture to fixed teeth on implants restores chewing strength, removes the need for adhesives and, by not covering the palate, brings back your sense of taste.
05 When will I see the final result?
Aesthetic, functional temporaries are fitted from the outset, so there is no period without teeth. The definitive work is fitted once the implant has integrated with the bone.
06 Am I too old for implants?
Age alone is not a contraindication. What matters is general health, bone quality and gum health. We routinely treat older patients.
07 What if I do not have enough bone?
Bone regeneration, sinus lift and zygomatic implant techniques make it possible to treat cases with severe bone loss. A diagnosis of "not enough bone" often means the case needs a specific technique, not that it has no solution.
08 How much does a dental implant cost?
It depends on the number of implants, the type of prosthesis and whether bone regeneration is needed first. We do not quote fixed prices without seeing the radiographic study: that would be a made-up figure. After the first assessment we provide a written quote detailing the full treatment.
